Heart Rehab | Healing from the Inside Out with Pastor Jerry Flowers Jr.
On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Jerry Flowers Jr., dynamic pastor, speaker, and author of Heart Rehab. Jerry shares how personal trauma and inner wounds can hold us back from living fully and loving others, and why awareness is the essential first step toward healing. We dive into the inspiration for his book, the difference between reading and hearing a message, and how Heart Rehab offers practical tools, like interactive video QR codes, to help readers trace, unmask, and heal the "thieves" of anxiety and dysfunction. Jerry gets real about surrender, faith, and giving back, sharing how he's dedicated every dime from his first book to support his church's new building and community programs. If you're ready for a fresh start, want to break the cycle of overthinking, or need encouragement for your own healing journey, this heartfelt conversation with Jerry Flowers Jr. is one you won't want to miss.
